About this book
In a world increasingly driven by digital transformation, one truth remains unchanged: business is about people.
The Future is Human explores the essential human skills – such as empathy, collaboration and storytelling – that define success in a rapidly evolving workplace.
Charlie Boyle, founder of Customer Service Excellence Ireland, brings this subject to life through a blend of personal experience, real-world business insights and cutting-edge research. As a contributor to MIT's study on the role of human skills in the workplace, he reveals how organisations worldwide are recognising that future success depends on these skills, yet they remain undervalued in traditional education and training.
With deeply personal reflections and case studies from West Donegal to the boardrooms of multinational companies, this book illustrates how human skills shape careers, businesses and communities, offering a compelling case for their importance in today's workforce.
• Discover the human skills that businesses are increasingly valuing in their people and how
to develop them.
• Learn from real-life stories and illuminating case studies that highlight the power and
impact of human skills.
• Gain practical insights into how these skills can drive success, improve workplace culture
and future-proof business.
At its heart, The Future is Human is a call to action for individuals, educators and businesses to rethink how we develop talent and nurture the skills that matter most. Whether you're a leader, entrepreneur, coach, educator or simply someone curious about what makes people and organisations thrive, this book provides a roadmap for success in a human-centred future.
